I was strolling the mall the other day with my mom (and yes, some people do still go to the actual mall) and we decided to pop in LOFT to nose around. I haven’t shopped here in years and let me tell you, I wanted allllll the sweaters. Oversized ones, chenille ones, cold-shoulder ones. ALL. OF. THEM. And ya […]

I have been wearing the same black puffy coat every winter for EIGHT YEARS… 8! It kept me so warm during Arctic winters in Ohio. It fit so perfectly. And now I can’t stand to put it on ever again. I mean, I wore it thru two pregnancies. It’s been thru a lot. I need […]

Well, hello Holidays! I told myself I was going to shop for all my party outfits BEFORE the holidays started and well, I didn’t. Why would I? Its soooooo much more fun to scramble around at the last minute, right? Nevertheless, there is still time. So, let’s just get to right to it. PRETTY […]

Welp, here I am just starting to think about Thanksgiving while everyone else is hanging their stockings with care to the tune of Christmas carols. I thought having a whopping SEVEN days until Turkey Day was plenty of time to find a cute outfit, menu plan and prepare to host thirty of my in-laws at my house.

But jeggings are not so much a thing anymore. Skinny jeans? Yes. But an actual jegging? No. And that’s sad because those things are […]

I don’t know about you, but I consider animal prints practically a neutral. It pairs well with almost any color and can compliment most prints. And its fun. I mean, no one ever looks at someone in an animal print jacket and thinks, ‘Ugh, that’s boring’. Right? My personal fave is mixing leopard with stripes. So chic! Picture this: a furry […]

I’m going to let you guys in on a little secret: I’m not a natural blonde anymore. Shocking, right?! It’s all highlights and lowlights up in there. And in the vain on truthfulness, my hair kinda sucks. We’re all given our gifts and gorgeous, flowing locks is not one of mine. But part of that is […]

So, I’m at a neighbor’s party the other night and a friend asked me what kind of shoes she should buy for fall. Her criteria were that they are comfortable and not too dressy. ‘Ummmm, how does she know my personal style mantra?’, I wondered. Maybe it was the cutoffs, t-shirt and sneakers I was […]
